Yehuda Nuriel – No

Yehuda Nuriel – No

At least it was funny. The prime minister stood at the UN podium and declared: “Let’s talk dugri. “

Sorry, Bibi, but you don’t talk dugri, and you have no intention of making peace with the Palestinians. Regrettably, you are not the star of a reality show – this is our life.

But don’t only take my word on it. Ask those in the know: For example, Moshe Kahalon, Gideon Sa’ar and Gilad Erdan, three senior ministers and future Likud leadership candidates. They have been pleading with Netanyahu to lead a historic diplomatic move. The answer you will hear from all of them is “no” – the prime minister simply cannot do it.

There is only one person in the world Netanyahu speaks dugri with: Professor Benzion Netanyahu, Bibi’s father and the “man who influenced me more than anyone else,” in the prime minister’s own words.

Netanyahu senior holds on to extreme rightist views, and in his opinion “the State of Israel is facing the threat of extermination, not just an existential threat. You think the Holocaust is over? That’s a mistake. It continues all the time.” In that rare joint interview, shortly before he was elected prime minister, Netanyahu junior said: “Any territory we evacuate will be taken by Israel’s bitterest enemies. Likud will not be evicting communities during this term in office.”

This, citizens of Israel, is the rare truth of the Netanyahu family: Not an inch. Not on Netanyahu’s watch.

Hence, the entire “dugri speech” by Netanyahu was a masterpiece of deception and an effort to buy time, Yitzhak Shamir-style. Just like the lowliest talkbacker, it included insults against the UN, against Islam, and against the Palestinians (not being present at their speech? So who the hell are you extending a hand to?)

The speech also ignored 44 years of occupation, with Lieberman in the backdrop, the man who creates the flare-ups for Bibi and on his behalf.

The prime minister must be happy now: Dad, I managed to secure another postponement. Dad, did you see how I spoke with the Arabs “in their language” and slammed them with this “dugri”? Yet the truth is that all these seemingly Mideastern expressions are a terrible, grim Western that will bleed for eternity.

RECOGNIZING PALESTINE

The Algiers Declaration of 1988 claimed a sovereign Palestinian state. But the recognition of Kosovo, which declared its independence in 2009 has brought the long-forgotten proposal of Palestinian independence back into play. watch this 44:00 min movie to know about the Palestinian case.
